History
Organized in 1921 by donations from Lombard patrons.
The gallery was launched by the collection of the Marquises of Fogliani, left as a legacy to the city in 1868 . Later, the museum collection was replenished by wills and gifts from wealthy collectors. In the 1950s Some of the collections were transferred to the Pavilion of Contemporary Art, built next to the villa.
In 2010, part of the exhibition dedicated to the art of the 20th century was allocated to a special Museum of the twentieth century , which occupied the building of the Town Hall on Cathedral Square in Milan.
